SpotGasTrader - Internal

Role Description.

We are looking for a hardworking, hungry addition to our Gas Trading desk who wants to go out and make money. You will be part of the spot trading function, initially trading WD and DA products, and prove you can become independent within two months. Spot trading is an end-to-end activity. You will be fully responsible for every process before and after the screen click, from idea generation and risk checks to price capture and post-trade follow-up. Volatility can erupt any hour, so the role calls for someone who follows the money and is happy to work evenings or weekends when the edge is there. If you are curious, passionate, and willing to get your hands dirty, this is the fastest runway to become a money maker in gas.

Role responsibilities include but are not limited to

• Own the European gas spot market region and prompt book (within day, day ahead, balance of month, front month). Expand to all European hubs as P&L justifies.


• Achieve full trading and analytical understanding within two months: execute trades, steer the analytics, and keep the book running even when key teammates are offline.


• Combine in-house S&D models, Trayport screens, Articuno execution developments, and broker relationships to build real-time edge.


• Trade whenever opportunity knocks, including evenings, weekends, and holidays if the market pays.


• Drive and fine-tune every pre- and post-trade step: idea → screen click → risk control → nominations handoff → P&L attribution.


• Reflect critically on daily results, share lessons with the desk, and feed improvements back into tools and processes.


• Show relentless proactivity, spot inefficiencies, propose fixes, and bring fresh ideas to the table.

Requirements

• Work hard: you thrive in high-intensity, live market environments and are not a clock watcher.


• Independence: a strong analytical self-starter who can run models, interrogate data, and back ideas without handholding.


• Proven internal performance, ideally already a money maker on another book.


• Calm under pressure and quick at turning information into decisions when liquidity is fleeting.


• Commitment to continuous learning. No specific coding prerequisites, but you master new systems in days, not weeks.


• Willing to get your hands dirty and own the gritty operational details that underpin every trade.


• Hungry, curious, passionate, and ready to prove it through results.


• Strong alignment with analysts and constructive feedback into tools and process.
